Fiorentina defender Viery faces tactical scrutiny in Napoli match

During Fiorentina's match against Napoli, coach Paolo Vanoli implemented a tactical shift by starting defender Viery as a right-back to contain attacking threats like Politano. While the decision faced criticism due to Viery's struggle to match the pace of Napoli's wingers, the Brazilian defender showed significant physical presence and potential as a central defender.

Observers noted that while Viery's size and strength make him a formidable marker, his lack of speed and stamina in wide positions remains a challenge. The tactical experiment saw Valdepenas enter the match to provide more stability on the flanks. Moving forward, the consensus suggests Viery may be better suited to a central defensive role where his physical dominance can be most effectively utilized.
